Jan Levine: NHL reveals phase 2 protocol, immigration impact on return-to-play, draft Lots to digest...

Nothing here that is insurmountable...

Seems everyone wants to play... some logistical issues... but all seem to want to get it done.

Lots of hurdles and so many potential breakdowns, mainly a player or players coming down with the virus. I suppose it is a chance they have to take to make it work, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Sure hoping we got hockey in July.

Players, rightfully so, have a big problem with quarentine away from families. Huge sticking point

Don't know about you, but I could use 2 months away from my family...... esp after spending the past 10 weeks holed up with them with no relief.

Maybe he will just cancel the rest of the season and give the Rangers the cup

The draft lottery for the 2020 NHL draft will include the seven teams that didn't qualify for the 24-team playoff tournament + the eight teams eliminated in the qualifying round.[/img]

that makes the most sense, but kind of sucks for the bottom 7 teams if one of the other 8 get to pick higher

We get the best of both worlds, I’m not upset by this lol

Wonder what happens if we beat canes and leafs lose, I assume we’re guaranteed a top 15 pick. We have that first for Skjei

Hearing the losers of play ins all have 3.6% chance of winning lottery

yep, guaranteed to be in the lottery if that happens

Montreal won the Cup in 1971 then had #1 overall pick and took Guy Lafleur

that could be us!

oh man, excited, cannot wait

I wish Bettman actually understood what was going on and wasn't just reading from a prompter. He has no clue what he is saying

kinda nutty

they really should just do one draft lottery for the teams 1-7 and then figure out rest of the draft order after this crazy playoff is over
